High-density synthetics reduce packing out compared to organic alternatives, sportiva mythos climbing shoes.

Another stalwart of the Scarpa climbing shoe range, the Vapour V is a tried and trusted bastion of the Balanced Performance series. With an impeccable blend of performance, comfort, versatility and durability its easy to see why this shoe can be seen everywhere; from indoor boulder gyms to the windswept granite towers of Patagonia.

Built around the relatively low volume FR last, the Vapour V provides a slightly asymmetrical and slightly downturned profile. The microfibre upper and padded air mesh tongue marry perfectly with the opposing Velcro straps, for an instantly comfortable fit and secure heel hold. A full length Flexan midsole partners the Bi-Tension rand system to offer the optimum levels of support. Vibram XS Edge rubber ensures further support and precision edging.

This iteration of the Vapour V sees a switch from the M70 toe rand - used in its yellow predecessor - to that of the harder, lower stretch Ilga rubber rand seen in the Instinct series. This results in a shoe that holds its toe point, edging precision for longer and provides improved durability.

Often mistaken for a mid-range shoe, the modern Vapours complex multi-panel (7) construction, precise fit, premium feature set and worldwide fanbase attest to far more!
